New York, NY (MMD Newswire) November 24, 208 -- In the spirit of Thanksgiving, BRANDEMiX—a branding and communications firm based in Manhattan—is giving its clients an opportunity to help low-income entrepreneurs in Third World countries through $25 Kiva gift certificates.
Kiva is a nonprofit organization that enables people to offer microloans through its website, www.kiva.org , to poor people in developing countries in order to help them form small enterprises.
“We are indebted to the client companies and the organizations that have believed in us and entrusted us with their business,” says Jody Ordioni, president and founder of BRANDEMiX. Through Kiva, we can help others have the same chance for success.”
Kiva works with microfinance institutions to find qualified entrepreneurs in impoverished communities throughout the world. Their profiles are placed on the Kiva website so people can learn about them and extend microloans to the businessperson of their choice.
To use their $25 gift certificates from Brandemix, clients log onto Kiva.com, select an
entrepreneur in the developing world and loan them the money – in this case, the $25 gift
certificate provided by BRANDEMiX. As soon as the initial loan is repaid, the client
can, through Kiva, re-loan the money to another entrepreneur.
“Kiva’s impact is undeniable,” said Ordioni. In one week alone, Kiva provides over 1,500 loans – equaling one loan every 35 seconds”.
